Uni,There is a Bruckner Motet in that stained glass I posted. You will have to turn off the amplifiers to hear it. Listen to the space with that glass in it. Don't you hear the Bruckner's contrapuntal modes loading the room? You don't need a sound to...

Thanks for comment, decoud. If you live with Melquiades for a while then you might discover that it will moderate your listening interests with time. I do not know what you are listening now but be if you spend substantial amount of time with Milq th...

Yo-yo Ma will be playing Bach solo cello suites for 2.5 hours starting in a few minutes (noon Pacific Daylight Time in North America.) He has a YouTube channel and it is also carried on the website kusc.org and maybe elsewhere. I don't know what the ...

Others have noted an analogy between some of Bach's music and the art of M. C. Escher, the originator of the "tri-prong" and other visual paradoxes. It's a certain "strangeness" that they have in common.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gödel,_Escher,_Ba...

Wow, the Definitive Audio is half hours away from London, this is good news. I did look at Google and it said 2.45 Hours but I might look some at something different. We probable will be staging near Royal Abler Hall, which is center city. We are ver...

I listened to some of the samples of "Bach Reflections," their only (somewhat) classical album, on my computer. My reaction is that, arrangement- and performance-wise, it would make excellent elevator music in something like a Marriott Hotel.I canno...

With another winter blizzard in progress here in Boston, I decided to listen to Pablo Casals playing the Bach cello suites. It seems suitable while watching the snow pile up on my window sill. Eric Silbin in his examination of the cello suites as pla...

My friend who has two daughters told me that he is stealing every moment to be with them. He learns the names of trees , flowers, weeds on the meadows and the bugs just to be able to have a conversation with the girls. He said that he turns his head...

I would say Bach or baroque is a better choice for young kids. I know when I was a kid (under 10) the only classical music I liked was Baroque. Everything else seemed unpleasant....

Hey, Guy.
The pre-Baltic countries are a nice place to be – quite interesting people in there, although thier women behave like they just were taken out of a freezer. :-) They kind of facially less-reactive and less-responsive than the girls-souther...

[quote user="noviygera"]… but do not mount those woofers behind your listening position. I tried that and it's tonally good but it's confusing as hell to the brain even if crossed over 80-100hz, still confusing. Put them in front or on sides, where t...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] This week on Thursday and Friday I had two “audio visitors” in my listening room. We did some listening and as it have become customary: they asked me to show something “interesting” or different in my Opera Room. BTW,...

When I first heard Scarlatti on a harpsichord it was a revelation. I found the tone, in its attack, to be almost like that of an electric guitar, and very energetic. I do not know to what degree this is inherent to the instrument, or how Scarlatti us...

Interesting romy, i play guitar. When i was learning to play the sound of one instrument vs another was very important too me. After playing for years i can enjoy playing almost any decent quality guitar as i can adjust my playing to get what i want...

You only need the first two notes and you know that this is WONDERFUL Bach.Rony, what is your "bitch" with Ophélies playing? I do not need always a "hysterically" correct reading or the virtuoso showing off everything they can.What I like about her p...

I never hear Ophelie Gaillard but am always am open for new takes on Bach. If you would like to try something different then you might try what I have been listening for the last few months – viola rendition of the suites. Viola is kind of shadowy in...

I think the recorder has a split personality. At the lowest level it is one of the easiest instruments for kids to learn to play, often used in schools, usually with very cheap plastic instruments.At the opposite end it is one of the hardest instrum...

Shostakovich string quartets have long been favorites of mine as well. For years I listened to them and the Bach cello suites more than any other serious music. I tried to get into the symphonic works but it never seemed as profound...

I must confess that I don't have a lot of time for Heifetz's recordings - I find him too cool and aloof (even in the Sibelius where such attributes might be expected to be virtues) - to me he sounds indifferent and unresponsive to the emoti...

Hi RomyHeifetz as sex with a marble woman - yes, exactly! Everything is perfect but without any emotional response. I am sure that the recorded sound he was usually given does not help - thin, scrawny & screechy - while rep...

Okay I have to confess that I am a Pavarotti fan, especially the overflowing, gushy puccini operas with the overflowing pavarotti. Along with the bach solo studies for cello, it's one of the reasons I started paying attention to my audio playba...

but for the sound it could well be: http://www.rozhlas.cz/d-dur/download_eng It's a performance by the Czec Radio on period instruments. It can be downloaded in Flac format and then converted to wav to burn a CD or whatever. I've just listened to it ...

Sorry but I couldn't get to the article through all the ads and surveys and wait screens. Musicians will more or less adapt to any tuning system thrown at them. Or course those that can "cheat" because of the construction of their instruments (eg fre...
